Access to quality learning opportunities is a priority for all Canadians. While education systems in Canada strive to respond to the needs of all Canadians, certain sectors of society, including the francophone population outside Quebec, experience considerable challenges in gaining access to and successfully completing education and training programs. CCL seeks to develop a good understanding of the particular learning challenges facing the French-speaking population in minority settings and to ensure that the learning needs of this population are met.
